The ideas and the topics define the medium and material. Rhythm and repetition create a continuous and endless process.
”DRO” is a video/performance installation which is represented in a dark room. Based on the dreams and senses of the memories. Installation consists of seven short videos and during the projection there is an ongoing performance. The body, sound and silence bring past and present together.
How strong is the impact of the past and memories within the art and development of the artist?
The environment where we are born, raised and grew up, the social atmosphere, the daily rituals and nature play a big role in shaping our thinking and vision.
Cultural background; rituals, history, language, symbol, time, poetry; bridge between dream, memory and reality; questioning fact and fiction. All of these are subjects that have an influence on my work.
In the films I make or in the performances i do there is always focus on the senses. There are a lot of objects and movements which are symbolic, but the real meaning stays hidden, something that is kept as a secret.
